Yeah, im sure he played it on another gamertag though.
I find Larry blog is full of people that put down a game they claiming to have played but haven’t just means future all opinions of these people become void imo
check your xbox forums PM when you have time

Slandering me, proof on that? any proof i made comments on games i do not own or not played?
My gamertag is DarkGin87 go look through my games and see if ive ever made a comment about a game i aint played

No. While it may look similar, it’s not really based on a 5 color lane button-scheme gameplay as regular Rock Band.
This is played with the sticks and the shoulder buttons which are absent in the instrument controllers.

I’m saying that the other Rock Band games cannot be played using just a standard controller. Players need either a microphone (in addition to a standard controller), or a guitar, drum, or keyboard controller.

I agree that rhythm gaming is always better with an instrument controller. That’s pretty much an established fact.

Rocksmith is awesome, even for those who have some experience. I had been taking a break from guitar and it helped me out, getting back into practicing.

I’ve had it since Christmas, and need to play it a bit more often. I’m getting rusty =(

As a musician, I actually like this better than Guitar Hero or Rock Band. It is far more accurate to what and how the notes should be played (especially in the metal songs). The other games never got that part right. My only complaint is the price of the songs. I get they are mastered and layered but $2 for each track is a little too much.

I definitely recommend it though.

Does anyone know if tracks from other Rock Band games area playable with this game? I don’t own the other Rock Band games and I’d rather not spend $50 for 40 songs, when I could spend $24.95 and get 80.

You could get RB1 used on the cheap (or better yet, borrowed), and pay $5 for the license fee. Bam, you get 55 songs.
You can do it for RB2 as well, but would you need to get a *brand new* copy since it uses a one-time code for the license. Unless you get lucky and come across with a used copy with an unused code. And you need a copy of RB3 (you could rent it). This yields 70 songs.
Same deal with RB: Green Day (44 tracks) and the AC-DC Track Pack (18 tracks).
Finally, you can get the Rock Band Free 01 pack which contains the HMX band songs from RB2.

Rock Band 3 disc songs are not playable in Blitz as they are not stored on the hard drive as DLC and there is no export code yet for that game. All the DLC will work, just not the disc songs. And the Blitz songs are playable in Rock Band 3 at no additional cost nor any need to export.

Well, I guess the point is that if you want to import the RB2 songs to play in Blitz, you really need to get an RB3 copy (not new, just get a hold of one).
There is no way to import the songs other than through the RB3 options menu.

There were four songs off the list I REALLY wanted to play on RB3, so to me it’s like getting a decent game with a few awesome songs. It’s not a bad game, just not great. The inclusion of Iron Maiden was the clincher.
